https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...le-v-aston-villa-kieran-trippier-injury-news/ So not so bad. Facing late test. So he'll either be fit or at most will miss one game. I'd say we have to risk it as this is a big game we should be looking to take 3 points from. Villa are good on the offense but vulnerable defensively. We need our best ball deliverer and defender.
I wouldn't risk him if there's any issue. Losing 1 game of 17 is better than 1 to 2 months if his calf tears.
I'll trust to Howe. If he can, he will. If he can't, then it's Manq, Lascelles, Schar and Burn across the back.
Howe has a brain and he won't risk him if there's a chance it tears. He knows there's more than 1 game left. Bruce would chuck him out then moan about injuries If he starts he's fine...
I want Tripps in for this. We win this one and it really is blast off and its a case of looking up the table and not down the table. This game is massive.
Every game is important, but clubs below have tough matches. I think we might get something but all I know for certain is we will try and give it a good go. For a change.
“Up until 40 minutes and even though we were 1-0 down, I thought we were the better side. I thought we were in control a little bit.
